Abstract

of nine English Department students during their study in a private university in

Indonesia. Seeing the debate activity as the hardest activity in Public speaking
class, this study has the purpose to explore students‟ strategies in overcoming the
unexpected argument in debate session. The study used content analysis to capture
the strategies in dealing with the unexpected argument. Qualitative analysis was
conducted to explore the findings. Data were collected through a Stimulated
Recall Interview in order to remind the students toward the unexpected argument.
Riessman (2008) says content analysis is served as an analytical data which
focuses on the contents or themes across the nine students‟ strategies. The result
shows two major strategies in dealing with the unexpected argument, they are
Schema theory and socio-cultural strategies. Schema theory includes previous
education, own experience, and ethnicity history. Pedagogical implications are
offered at the end of the paper.
Keywords: Unexpected argume nt, debate, strategies, schema theory, sociocultural, public speaking.
